Fairfield VRF System Installation Experts
VRF stands for variable refrigerant flow, and it’s a type of HVAC system that uses refrigerant as the heating and cooling medium. The main difference between a traditional heat pump and a VRF system comes down to the compressor. Traditional heat pumps have a single compressor that’s used to heat or cool your home.
VRF systems feature a variable-speed compressor and multiple indoor units that operate independently of one another. Because of the variable-speed compressor, VRF systems can more precisely control the temperature throughout the different zones of your home. This leads to better system efficiency, which can greatly reduce your energy bills year-round.
Key benefits of VRF HVAC systems include:
- Zone temperature control
- Space-saving design
- Quiet operation
- High operating efficiency
- Scalability
One major advantage that VRF HVAC systems offer over traditional heat pumps is their ability to heat and cool your home simultaneously. For instance, you can keep an exercise room cooler than the rest of your house. This is possible due to advanced refrigerant piping, heat recovery technology, and inverter-driven compressors.
With heat recovery, also known as heat reclaim capability, your system can effectively transfer the heat removed from the spaces that it’s cooling to the rooms that it’s warming. This further optimizes your energy efficiency by recycling heat from room to room.
As a VRF HVAC system contractor, we handle every part of the installation process. From design and planning to placement, piping, and testing your system, you can rely on us. We’ll design your VRF system specifically for your home’s layout, heating and cooling requirements, and overall size. We’ll select appropriate indoor air handler units that match the style that you would like. We offer wall-mounted, ceiling cassette, ducted, and floor-mounted units.
We can place your outdoor unit on a pad outside, on the rooftop, or on the exterior wall of your property. Our technicians will run copper refrigerant lines alongside electrical lines between the indoor air handler units and the outdoor condenser unit. This creates a connected system that ensures proper refrigerant flow and precise temperature control. Once your system is in place, we’ll use a vacuum pump to remove any air and moisture from the line. We will then properly charge it with refrigerant. Before we leave, we conduct thorough testing to ensure that your system is working as it should.
